We Were Restless Things by Cole Nagamatsu
2.0
I'd like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy. This was done in exchange for an honest review.
The cover of this book is gorgeous, and I was drawn in by the premise. Unfortunately, the slow pacing and under-developed characters made me not want to continue on, and so I DNF'd it.
I felt like there was a promise of an intriguing storyline, and it didn't deliver. Instead, it is just a solid wallow into nothing with an awkward romance that made me uncomfortable.
Unfortunate, but there is promise in the author's writing style. Hopefully, future novels will improve where this one lacked.

I could have really gone without a step-sibling romance. It's a trope that I will always take a hard pass on.Unfortunate, but there is promise in the author's writing style. Hopefully, future novels will improve where this one lacked.
